Hi End Pre-Amp shoot out in central jersey?


Hi,

I have recently heard the DarTZeel pre in my system as compared to my highly optioned MA1 MK3, and thought it might be interesting to compare a few pre-amps.

I would be interested in hearing the ARC Ref3, the Dart again, as well as the latest from BAT, Halcro etc. Any takers?

Might not be a scientific experiment, but we might have fun and learn a thing or two.

Best,

Ron

Hi,

Sorry, the pre-amp is the MP1, not the MA1, my error. I am holding off publishing my review of the Dart vs. the Atma until I can hear it again. To be fair, it was too short a session and one of the pre-amps was cold while the other was warmed up.

And yes, it would be for line stage only as I do not have an analog set up.

Would be nice to get an ARC Ref 3 in the mix as well. Any takers??

Thanks!

Ron
Well, you could look in the clubs section of this forum and contact the NJ Audio Society. Some of those guys may be interested. I was a long-time member, but now live in AZ.

Good luck to you!
Hi,

That's some love you've put into your system! Well done.

I too live in Central Jersey and have a Lamm L1 that I'd be happy to add to the shootout. But I don't know if that's high-end enough for you. Separately as far as Mechans goes, I only have one word; Wow.

Let me know if you are interested. Cheers
Hi, Ron!
I live in Basking Ridge, and would like to take a part of the event, but I think that my Cary SLP-05 is not on the level you are interested in.
Thank you.
Boris.
Hi Seldon,

I'd love to hear the Lamm, I've heard some of his power amps before and thought them very musical.

I am not sure what to make of Mechans post either, but hey, it's a public forum and everyone should have the right to express themselves.

Best,

Ron
